Next, we have a few GIFs you may be interested in from the Oklahoma game. Insane potential. These are the elite throws that very few QBs can make. What more can I say? Geno Smith can be a franchise QB in the NFL, and the Chiefs need to take a shot on him.

HOW DO WE GET HIM HERE?

Glad you asked. I posted this checklist earlier. It probably belongs in the thread header, and will be updated as the Chiefs close out their season and start a new chapter in their franchise story.

Preparing for Geno Smith's Arrival In KC Checklist

1. [X] Lose games and acquire the #1 overall pick
2. [X] Get Pioli and the Patriot Way cronies the **** out
3. [X] Hire new GM/coach

If you want to know who the guy that Glennon reminds me of in college it's Ricky Stanzi.

Big arm, good football IQ, decent release and corrected some early college career inaccuracies to a point, but still struggles to make good throws down range and tends to get nervous when the game is put into his hands and that will force him to make bad decisions with the ball.

This Mike Glennon in the first round bullshit is, not to be redundant but...bullshit.

If not for the fact that he's 6'6" and is relatively athletic with a big arm, there would be no discussion of Glennon until the later part of the third round at best.

I mean, if this guy passes up Tyler Bray, Ryan Nassib and EJ Manuel, let alone Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson and Geno Smith, that should be a definite "you just got your pink slip moment" for the GM that pulls that trigger.

I'm still amazed how much authority and weight is given to guys like Kiper and McShay and Mayock. I swear that they just pick a dude to prop up simply to show people how much power and sway they have over the uneducated masses of football fans.

I think Brad Sorensen of shitty Southern Utah is a better NFL prospect than Glennon.

What is so difficult about saying he is a good prospect that had a bad game? Why can't you give him a decent analysis of what happened rather than posting some irrelevant stats that don't even begin to tell the story?

Detox,

As much as you can argue that the weather had nothing to do with the game, you can argue that it did.

If affected the entire offensive gameplan. Geno's big sell is that he can toss the deep ball very accurately. This is NOT happening when the weather is detrimental to this style of play.

Granted, the safteys Geno took were on him and yes he did have a bad game to his standards.

He struggled at times and looked good at times. There were moments where you could see his eyes and head run through his progressions like an all pro. Those would be accompanied by moments in which he locked onto one receiver. There were times when he got rid of the ball quickly, and there were times when he held the ball too long. He had a ball or two that were perfectly placed get dropped, and he had a few balls where he completely misfired.

He struggled to find any consistency at all. Im sure the weather and coaching played a part in it, but they alone are not the reason he struggled so much.

He took TWO sacks for safties. It's not just the fact that he took two sacks like that, it's the fact that he took them JUST as the WV was gaining momentum. One came after the defense forced a turnover. He also fumbled a center/QB exchange. His Lone big play came on pass where the defender slipped and fell. To his credit, he also had a short slant that went the distance, but was called back due to a penalty.

Despite all that, he still showed off his impressive accuracy, quick release and above avg athleticism.

The wind certainly affected even Geno's throws to the sidelines and hashes. The wind caused a couple of screen passes to sail high. It caused a couple of sideline passes to cut short of the receiver.

To me, some of that is still on Geno. One of the few true question marks in Geno's game to me is top-end arm strength. He's a QB who is in love with the touch and accuracy he passes with, so he rarely (if ever) muscles a bullet somewhere. Some of those short throws in the Pinstripe Bowl were because Geno didn't throw hard enough to account for the wind.

NFL coverages are going to dictate that Geno sometimes really zip a ball into a small window. He can't rely solely on his touch. From everything I've seen in games, I think Geno has the arm strength to succeed at a high level in the NFL.

So I'm pretty eagerly anticipating Geno pro days, where he's going to be made to put some mustard on the ball.

I agree with you 100%, we have seen eye to eye on this subject.
